I am not going to go into semantics and gender politics here.

I am thinking more linearly. Besides, Kiku's ID was hinted through her language. So I am focusing on that angle.
From a narrative/storytelling stand point. When characters are speaking about a character whose identity has yet to be revealed, you cannot deduce their exact gender identity just based on the pronouns people use in the narrative. Especially just Japanese pronouns.
 
absolutely mind-blowing spoilers.

Yamato potentially being a woman. Wowowow. Never thought Oda would go this route. Originally I was iffy on the idea, but now, all for it. Looks like Yamato could be a woman with the heart of a man, being the reverse of Kikku. Her identifying with the male pronoun would be perfectly natural. What would be amazing is that Kaidou and the other Beast Pirates either respect or just don't care enough to try and change it and just call her the way Yamato wants - as a man. That would be far better and fit the somewhat strength meritocracy of the Beast Pirates themselves. We see how unlike the people of Wano, the Beast Pirates don't discriminate between males and females. The woman fight and drink and party just as hard as the men. Zoro is facing off against male and female Gifters for example.

Kaidou isn't forcing Yamato to be a man. It's all Yamato's choice and he just goes along with it.

The other scenario which looks likely is that only Kaidou and Yamato know s/he is biologically a woman. Yamato wnated to talk to Luffy in private away from the eyes of the Beast Pirates. It's possible s/he's in disguise all this while and the others do not know.

Ulti and Page One getting back up as testament to the powers of an ancient zoan. Finally. This is what I've been waiting to see. Clear benefits to having Zoans/Ancient Zoans as opposed to being the runt of the DF litter. Compared to the elemental manipualtion and generation of Logias and the zany reality warping powers of Paramecias, Zoans have gotten the shrot end for a long while now. Good to see some of that imbalance being addressed.

Shame about the break .

Except people did figure it out for Kiku. The idea that Kiku was a biological male was put forward long before it was finally revealed.

So, the language pattern CAN be useful. Not that it would be always, but it may be. So that's what I will focus on.

I don't care if Yamato looks like a girl. He a man.
You should not be overconfident of it. Right now, there is reasonable doubt for both sides.
 
That would be super trash tbh, i do think it has something to do with yamato tho. I am super glad she is super strong, if she is indeed a woman. Now we have 3 brawler type high/top tiers, yamato/bm/ulti and an all rounder like hancock. We need more strong females.

It means he has a very slender/ thin face but with a beard.
